A member asked:
I have hypothyroidism, feel tired, could my cold cause thyroid symptoms to come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Common cold which is a viral infection can cause hypothyroidism through causing thyroiditis. This usually resolves within 4 to 6 weeks after the resolution of the viral infection and is not permanent.
